What reading level is Down to the Sea in Ships book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his anxiety to keep well to windward of the reefs and shoals which studded the south side of the opening, the skipper had nearly driven his ship right on to this rocky wall.
" Up with your wheel ! Hard up ! " he yelled, catching hold of the spokes himself. This timely light saved them from what must have otherwise been certain destruction.
THE HURRICANE. 223 As they passed through the opening the seas were terrific. They rolled in like solid walls of glimmering tire, and burst in Hashing sho...wers of foam on each side of the reef.
" Hurrah, boys ! " roared the skipper. " By, we'll do it yet ! " " Hurrah ! Hurrah ! " responded some of the crew. " She's clear of the reef ! " Their voices were caught by the tierce wind and whirled away into the darkness to leeward.
Another minute and the Annie would have been in open water and comparative safety, pro- vided the hurricane continued to drive them off the shore. But suddenly she gave a tremendous pitch, burying the whole of her fore part beneath the waves.
